Yamagata City and NEXCO EAST Group are working to contribute to achieving the SDGs.
This project to develop the Yamagata PA Smart IC is a business activity that will revitalize the local economy and support local medical care through the development and strengthening of Expressway network. I believe that this will contribute to No. 11.
